"J. Pietilä is no longer in the band. He left the band on good terms. We wish him good luck in the future. And this means that we are looking for a new drummer. We really hope that we'll find a new guy to fill the drummer's seat in the nearest future..."

Finnish thrash metal band, Burden A.D., has parted ways with vocalist Eero Haula. The band has issued the following comments on their line up situation:

“When we needed a new vocalist some time ago we asked him to try out and he had what we wanted. Unfortunately E. Haula always had a busy schedule and fit us in when he could but lately could not find much time at all between his record label & promotion agency and Burden A.D. Therefore we had to part ways. E. Haula has left on good terms and we wish him the best for the future. So what is our new line-up then? A. Niemi will now do the vocals and J. Makkonen is our new monster guitarist. So please come to see us on stage in Tampere next Thursday, it will be our first show with this new line-up! Stay brutal!”

"Our search is over! Hereby we officially announce that Eero Haula is our new vocalist. Eero did a brilliant job when doing vocals on Wasted by Metal and Latvian Tours. His skills impressed us and we knew his the right guy for Burden A.D. With his experience and variety of vocals we believe that Burden A.D. will develop further and continue it's journey to the top of the metal scene. Eero's photo will be added soon. Meanwhile, please check new gig pictures from Dante's Highlight. New era for Burden A.D. has just begun..."

"Burden A.D. would like to announce that Dude has left the band. We're all sorry to see Dude go, and we wish him all the best in whatever he decides to do."

Rixu "Dude A.D." Rocker has the following statement on the matter:

"I have basically followed my instincts and come to the conclusion that I'm leaving Burden A.D. I'm not retiring, but I just want to do what feels right for me. I've now personally chosen to focus on other kind of stuff. I'll be involved in other bands and you'll be hearing from me soon. See ya!"
